GRAND PRAIRIE
1. Every year, 1.2 million students drop out of high school in the United States alone.
That's a student every 26 seconds - or 6,000 a day.
2. More than a quarter of high school freshmen fail to graduate from high school on time.
3. There are nearly 2,000 high schools in the U.S. where 40% of the typical freshman class
leaves school by its senior year.
4. More than one in four Hispanic youth drop out, and nearly half leave by the eighth
grade.
5. Hispanics are twice as likely as African Americans to drop out. White and Asian American
students are least likely to drop out.
6. In the last 20 years, the earnings level of dropouts
doubled, while it nearly tripled for college
graduates.
7. Recent dropouts will earn $200,000 less
than high school graduates, and over
$800,000 less than college graduates,
in their lives.
8. Dropouts make up nearly half the
heads of households on welfare.
9. In the U.S., 65% of convicts are
dropouts. Lack of education is one
of the strongest predictors of
criminal activity.
10. The dropout problem is
likely to increase substantially
through 2020 unless significant
improvements are made.
I I.American's high school
graduation rate ranks 19th
in the world. (Forty years ago,
we were number one.)
